Perhaps Hansard had your comments wrong.
How do you sit here...? I'm curious. You stated all along that no one advised you not to press the button to go ahead with Phoenix, even though in January we heard PSAC saying not to do this. We've also heard recently that consultants at the very beginning of the project, I understand, wrote to your department and said, “It's not ready. Don't go ahead.”
Why did we go ahead and start this?
We heard from the staff, from the ground level, from the union, and from the consultants who all said, “Don't do this.”
It's not as though it was May; it wasn't as though it was part two and we were saying “Don't go ahead.”
In part one they said, “Don't do this”, and yet we still did.
